Happy 2026. New Year, new beginnings… and a chance to reflect on the One who never changes. If names tell us anything about a person, then Jesus is extraordinary beyond measure—He has so many of them! Each name reflects a different side of who He is, like the mirrors on a disco ball, catching the light from every angle. It’s almost as if God is saying, “One word can’t capture Him—let’s try a few more!”

As we step into a new year, let’s take a playful spin around the disco ball and discover only a small fraction of who our Magnificent Lord is!
